Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have, \(\lim _{x \rightarrow 1} \frac{\tan \left(x^{2}-1\right)}{x-1} \quad\left(\frac{0}{0}\right.\) form \()\) \(=\lim _{x \rightarrow 1} \frac{\sec ^{2}\left(x^{2}-1\right) \cdot 2 x}{1}\)
[using L'Hospital's rule] \(=2 \cdot \sec ^{2}(0)=2\)
